Can't get the LoginGooglePlayGames to work

Hi, for 3 months I’ve been trying to implement the Google Play Games account login in my game, but it’s failing at :

        PlayGamesPlatform.Instance.Authenticate((success) =>
        {
            if (success == SignInStatus.Success)
            {
                Debug.Log("Login with Google Play games successful.");

                PlayGamesPlatform.Instance.RequestServerSideAccess(true, code =>
                {
                    Debug.Log("Authorization code: " + code);
                    Token = code;
                    // This token serves as an example to be used for SignInWithGooglePlayGames
                });
            }
            else
            {
                Debug.LogWarning("LoginGooglePlayGames Unsuccessful");
            }
        });

and I get the “LoginGooglePlayGames Unsuccessfull” debugLog

what I’ve done:
-Sign up for UGS
-Link my dashboard to a Unity Editor project.
-Install the SDK in my game code. (ver 3.3.0)
-Initialize the SDK. (the initialization seems to work since I get the “Initialized” debugLog)
-Install the Google Play Games plugin for Unity ver11.01
-I have setup my Google Play Developer Console with my app (same for my OAuth 2.0 Client IDs in the developer console)
-I have set the credential in the Google Play Developer Console with the Android credential for the Android part and the web client credential for the Game server credential part
-Setup the Google Play Games plugin in Unity (with the resources obtained from the developer console and my web client credential)
-Setup Google Play Games plugin nearby connections (with my game package)
-Setup my Identity providers (with my web client credential)
-Resolve android Dependencies

the code I’m using is exactly the one found at :
https://docs.unity.com/ugs/en-us/manual/authentication/manual/platform-signin-google-play-games

Questions I have:
-Why can’t I get PlayGamesPlatform to authenticate?
-What are the differences between LoginGooglePlayGames and SignInWithGooglePlayGamesAsync?
-Is the authCode needed by SignInWithGooglePlayGamesAsync the Token got from the code on top?

async Task SignInWithGooglePlayGamesAsync(string authCode)

-Since I’m using the web client credential everywhere where do I need to use the Android credential?
-What happens if I try logging in to Google Play Games when I’m signed in anonymously?

Thanks for any help.

In exactly the same boat as this, I’ve been trying for the last two weeks.

I’ve gone through the process over 20 times, deleting my Play Console/Developer Console projects and going back through the process.

  • I’ve generated new SHA1 keys for my project, changed all the details in the SHA key, making sure that their are no special characters.
  • I’ve changed the package name
  • Ive built in release, I’ve built in developer.
  • I’ve tried making an .AAB and uploading it to Play Console & creating a closed test, adding the key from the App Signing of the Play Console.

I see quite a few posts on the forums about this but very little responses so I thought I’d chime in, in the hopes that maybe we can draw some attention to this.

Hi, I’m still blocked on that issue, I will take any idea.
